Who is Jackalman?

Jackalman is a jackal-like mutant villain from the Thundercats universe, serving as one of the Mutants of Plun-Darr who oppose the ThunderCats. Cowardly yet cunning, he allied with Mumm-Ra and his fellow Mutants in their relentless pursuit of Lion-O and the Sword of Omens.

Few villains embody the scrappy, snarling menace of 1980s Bronze Age comics quite like Jackalman, who prowled onto the page in Marvel's Thundercats #1 in 1985, courtesy of a creative team that included David Michelinie, Leonard Starr, and Jim Mooney. Part of a memorable rogues' gallery that kept heroes like Lion-O, Cheetara, and the mighty Mumm-Ra in constant company, Jackalman haunts the pages of one of the decade's most beloved licensed comics runs. His catalog footprint may be compact, but for fans of that golden window of mid-'80s Marvel adventure β€” when animated worlds leapt gloriously into print β€” he's a wicked little piece of the puzzle worth hunting down.
